Biographical Details
He was apprenticed to Anthony Leonard in 1692 and became free of the Masons’ Company in 1703. In 1714 he was appointed mason to the Inner Temple, receiving £80 that year for repairing the garden wall. Between 1719 and 1721 he was paid small sums for repairs at Hoare’s Bank. In 1722 Scott’s son, William, was apprenticed to him. Thomas probably died in the following year, since William was described as the ‘son of the late Thomas Scott’ in 1724 (Masons’ Co, Freemen, fol 67).
